Who Knows About My Nose?
I found an interesting e-mail in spam the other day... (no, I didn't open it) Somebody took time out from his/her busy schedule to write me this question: How's your nose? It caught my eye and I got a little nervous. I mean, is my nose in some sort of danger? Is somebody picking on me -- or my nose? Usually, I'm asked, "How's the family?" or "How's the car running?" But now there's inquiries about my nose? Is there a rhinoplasty bill I forgot to pay in a previous life? "We're taking you to collections!" Thanks to that e-mail, I'm really concerned about my nose. I hope somebody doesn't come in the middle of the night and try to steal it (I have a nice nose, at least I think so). "Hey, give me back my nose!" Then there's a side of me that really regrets deleting that e-mail... What if it was a well-meaning person, and I cavalierly dumped their positive thoughts... How insensitive of me. "I'm sorry, whoever you are." I really, really am... Maybe a Good Samaritan noticed something about my sniffer that nobody else is willing to tell me. "You cowards! -- spit it out!" Not that I'm obsessed or anything, but... I can't stop thinking about my nose... I keep looking at my nose... "Your eyes are going to stay that way!" Yeah, ever since that question, my nose is all I think about. It's still there, from what I can tell. But what if I'm in denial... "What's wrong, nose? I hate when you don't talk to me..." I just wish somebody would come forward with the truth... Is my nose growing? Is it shrinking -- my nose, that is... Why would somebody e-mail me about my nose? I have a right to nose -- uh, know... Please, whoever tried to contact me about my schnozz, please write back. "Let's communicate, let's debate. Heck, I'm willing to go nose-to-nose if I have to..." But enough about my nose! I have to get back to more pressing issues in my life. Yes, I most certainly do... But first, "Anybody got a mirror?"
